I was just thinking that while watching this yet again. All looking at Omar but Jim Ward is holding it all together and allowing Omar to go crazy. Especially noticable after Omar says "Fuck this guitar! I want to play the tamborine!" and the song still holds together. Is a great performance.
@@oxygenpoisoning nah it was a tech issue. coulda been output jack, pickups etc. u can tell cuz the sound was in & out, choppy. Omar kept going to the amp to figure it out
I like this performance. It's completely shambolic and all over the fucking place but brilliant. They had balls to play how they wanted to, and not be boring and safe, in front of a large tv audience.
***** Sorry good sir but I'm gonna have to take a rain check on that whole heaven/hell thing. I'm going to the multiverse when I die. Its much cooler there and they got beer and stuff. Plus Tuesdays is all you can eat taco night and I love me some tacos. Thanks anyways though.
You can tell why they split from watching this. Omar and Cedric are just dicking about while the other three try to play the song. It's especially funny watching Jim Ward stubbornly doing back-up vocals without a main vocal to back-up.
no music should be played 'out of tune' not even complete shit raw and chaotic .....raw as 'it sounds like it hasn't been rehearsed' chaotic as in ' no member of the band knows whos going to fuck up next ' THIS BAND SUCKS
POLYAL0899 Let me explain what happened: When the performance starts the head of Omar's guitar hits the monitor and knocks it out of tune. The guitar tech hands him a replacement. Omar trips on the chair that Cedric kicked on stage and the head of the guitar slams into the monitor again knocking it completely out of tune. At this point he realizes all he can do is add distorted effects, until he completely ditches the guitar in place for a tambourine. They were always full of energy, but those two incidents made it sound chaotic and out of tune. A memorable performance. They were an amazing band.
I saw this on the night it aired - it blew me away - it don't matter that it's all a put of tune - it was a great performance - plus Robbie William's face after - that was great- he could never follow that
i was 19 when i first heard about them through this song. i was like "what the fuck is this?" it scared the fuck out of me. it was what i felt the music world needed in a time of rap-metal and teen-pop during that time. they were dangerous and probably the last most dangerous thing to come out in the world of music. nowadays, everything is just shit and even those who claim to be dangerous are just full of shit.
+theonlymikeystatic Death Grips is groundbreaking and aggressive and probably the first band in a while that's had their kind of spirit, but I wouldn't go as far to call them dangerous. I was at one of their shows not too long ago and it was pretty tame. Fantastic and just as abrasive and unclean as ever, but nothing like what you would have seen ATDI do back in their day. But, there are still bands here and there that truly capture that spirit and utilize it properly without coming off as trying too hard. You've just gotta look for 'em.
Worst, but the best rocking out performance ever. Not giving af, just totally rocking out way too hard it fucked everything up including hos face, lol. I loved it!
Awesome. My brother saw the. Love (lucky bastard) and was blown away and bought RoC. And while he enjoyed it: he gave it to me and said” Listen to this, you’ll love it” - He was 100% Right
In a weird way it makes me happy to know that someone like Robbie Williams saw At The Drive-In live at their peak. You have to think that maybe somewhere along the years that've followed he might have woken up one night, sweating and suffering heart palpitations due to not having either a Red Bull or Silk Cut in the last half hour and realised that this is what real music sounds like.
"I respect this band a lot and I love this song. Happy they're reforming. But when it's only 60% of the band bothering to play the song it's not 'edgy'. It's taking the piss." You're exactly right of course. Without the competently-played drums and rhythm guitar, there would have been no semblance of a song, just two wasted motherfuckers shitting out discordant noise. I'm assuming the bass was competently played, but with all the poop coming out of that guitar and Cedric's screaming, you can't hear it under the treble. I love this song, but when you're playing a completely different part of the fretboard and not even hitting the right notes, on top of not tuning your guitar, you're just purposefully offering a shitty performance. Looking cool should not come at the expense of the music.
"Playing a completely different part of the fretboard"... Lol a lot of At The Drive ins music is easily played anywhere around the neck... As is most music. Maybe he was trying to find his way around the untuned string by just playing the song an alternate way? Scrubs these days..
AjayRhys So what you're saying is the band played the song beautifully, and I'm a scrub because fretboards? Run along now and go comment on emo videos.
ErikErikErikErik I can't think of a band past or present as awesome as ATDI. That being said, Back in 2001-2005 was a band called Bear vs.Shark. Amazing live shows, 2 great albums. Check them out if you haven't already. Also, the great Fugazi who pretty much invented the Post-Hardcore genre.
I hope that casually thrown guitar didn't hurt anyone .... And to anyone who mocks this you obviously haven't had a Stratocaster(other guitars are available), wrapped around their head. I speak from experience..... But basses do hurt more,
yup! great performance. It looks like Omar was frustrated and was taking it out on the guitar, then smacked the tambourine around for a while. If you want to check out his latest project search Bosnian Rainbows, enjoy!
This os one of the few times where I DIDN'T like Omaur's messing around. Normally it's one of my favourite things about him, esoecially in Mars Volta stuff, but here it was just kind of distracting
I'm gonna go against the grain of all the nut riders: I Love ATDI but as a performance is typical of what a lot of punk groups do once they get on a mainstream show. People thought Nirvana was cool for breaking instruments (which they could've donated instead to some poor kids SMH) while doing one song on i think it was SNL (?) but breaking instruments should come as a natural order of intensity whereas doing it after one song is "dancing monkey" but comes off as insecurity. An old hxc thing was bands would sometimes play with their backs to the audience. Or look at what Fear did when they were on in SNL which got them banned 😂 now that was fuckin awesome🤙 So yeah, to me, this is nothing amazing and completely insecure. You wanna give a big middle finger to the mainstream audience? You could've done anything other than be what might've been expected of a bunch of punks. Hey, somebody's gotta go against the grain🤷🏻♂️😂
omar really fucks it, we already know cedric's edgy but if omar played solid it might be a decent musical performance but the stage performance is fantastic
Bet the old people in the audience were like "Ooo what a racket. Boys do look like girls today don't they?" Then realised how insane it was and had a heart attack.
I love ATDI. They were a breath of fresh air. However, they fall into the category of bands that are visually appealing, but sound like dog shit live. So disappointing.
Jules have a major “fuck yes” moment here. Throwing bands in the face of one another like a mad musical scientist pushing the comfort zones of their known creative boundaries. Whether or not they know it these bands take something away from these circles of sound. Swear to God Cedric threw a little James Brown in there too.
5:18 Robbie Williams playing that calm shit after ATDI is just tooo funny.
Dude, whoever edited this missed out Robbie's amazing line at the end: "Uh, can me mate have his chair back?"
Brilliant.
RW said that at the beginning of his second song on the show.
In which a lone rhythm guitarist proves why its a good thing to have one guy in the band who keeps his cool. This is a badass performance.
I was just thinking that while watching this yet again. All looking at Omar but Jim Ward is holding it all together and allowing Omar to go crazy. Especially noticable after Omar says "Fuck this guitar! I want to play the tamborine!" and the song still holds together. Is a great performance.
@@mikmook4781 wasnt on purpose tho cuz his guitar was messed up
@@ocruz9797 yep his strap broke from dancing around and flinging his guitar.
@@oxygenpoisoning nah it was a tech issue. coulda been output jack, pickups etc. u can tell cuz the sound was in & out, choppy. Omar kept going to the amp to figure it out
@@ocruz9797not at all I think he’s just playing erratically. He’s an experimental guitarist
Omar never wanted to play guitar. He just wanted to be a dancer
I like this performance. It's completely shambolic and all over the fucking place but brilliant. They had balls to play how they wanted to, and not be boring and safe, in front of a large tv audience.
Jez Creed i would have written the same thing but stopped at 'place'
Nobody was prepared for this. Jesus Christ on a Bicycle!
I know u did not just say Jesus Christ on a bicycle
hahahahaha that look on robbie williams face was priceless, how the fuck could you follow that!
+Tobias St I didn't recognize him, now I understand lmfao priceless indeed
I like the end when Sparta starts their set.
Top tier comment
Where's Sparta now?
you mean who Sparta carried the entire ADTI performance while omar and cedric dance around, you hack.
3:00 for the greatest moment ever.
HAHA this performance would've fallen apart without Jim
The entire Sparta band carried that performance
THIS IS THE BEST THINGS MY EYES DID EVER SEE
That's only because we haven't met yet ; )
Arka Presente lolol
*****
Sorry good sir but I'm gonna have to take a rain check on that whole heaven/hell thing.
I'm going to the multiverse when I die.
Its much cooler there and they got beer and stuff. Plus Tuesdays is all you can eat taco night and I love me some tacos.
Thanks anyways though.

I'm sure you would know, sounds like your kinda party.
watch fugazi's performance of the song "glue man" on their dvd "instrument"
You can tell why they split from watching this. Omar and Cedric are just dicking about while the other three try to play the song. It's especially funny watching Jim Ward stubbornly doing back-up vocals without a main vocal to back-up.
Christ sakes---do any of you get it? It was played the way it should have been--out of tune raw and chaotic--omar was frying his balls off
no music should be played 'out of tune' not even complete shit
raw and chaotic .....raw as 'it sounds like it hasn't been rehearsed'
chaotic as in ' no member of the band knows whos going to fuck up next '
THIS BAND SUCKS
POLYAL0899 Let me explain what happened:

i almost broke a goddamn leg right now, its impossible to stand still. I miss that band so much.
One of the all-time great live performances of anything, ever.
I saw this on the night it aired - it blew me away - it don't matter that it's all a put of tune - it was a great performance - plus Robbie William's face after - that was great- he could never follow that
i was delighted to see the stupid face on williams, trying to go on after that with some soppy, saccharine bullshit.
robbie williams expressed the desires of 100% of the music conscious viewers
..............give us the chair back and fuck off you morons
POLYAL0899 no one cares what opinion Robbie Williams has on music.
i was 19 when i first heard about them through this song. i was like "what the fuck is this?" it scared the fuck out of me. it was what i felt the music world needed in a time of rap-metal and teen-pop during that time. they were dangerous and probably the last most dangerous thing to come out in the world of music. nowadays, everything is just shit and even those who claim to be dangerous are just full of shit.
Paul Lambeth
like who?
+thevoid99 Death Grips, for better or worse.
+Paul Lambeth Death Grips yo, as that other guy said
Everything is too safe and clean these days, as far as mainstream goes.
Maybe look into more extreme forms of metal, punk, and hardcore.
+theonlymikeystatic Death Grips is groundbreaking and aggressive and probably the first band in a while that's had their kind of spirit, but I wouldn't go as far to call them dangerous.

See Robbie, that's how you captivate an audience.
And now they come back. FUCK YES!
Oh yeah!!!!
Oh yeah!!!!hmm
Oh yeah!!!
+Helmut Hummer OH YEAHHHHH
Love this. Ive played guitar 30 years and that's the point
Worst performance by Omar Rodz, he even hit himself in the face with the guitar. Even Cedric was wtf! Lol
Worst, but the best rocking out performance ever. Not giving af, just totally rocking out way too hard it fucked everything up including hos face, lol. I loved it!
Actually one of the best live performances ever! So much raw energy!
Saw this on the day also.blew me away even if it was so shambolic!! Who cares!! I played the album to death and it still sounds just as good now.
hard drug use
I'll never forget where I was when I first saw this performance. I was at home, watching this performance, on T.V.
The day after this screened I went to see them in Belfast - one of the best gigs I've ever been to.
Awesome. My brother saw the. Love (lucky bastard) and was blown away and bought RoC. And while he enjoyed it: he gave it to me and said” Listen to this, you’ll love it” - He was 100% Right

I’ve never laughed so hard.
I think he's still upset about his mates chair.🤣
gotta love robbie williams face at the end ha ha !
That was brilliant, and it only got better when you see the guy from Take That was up next.
The coolest part is that Robbie was totally overshadowed. His face says it all. Good always triumphs rock!
I remember him saying "can we get our chair back please"
@@swanny2001 "can me mate get his chair back please?" 😂🤣😂
Chair: "I felt violated after this show"
No one gives the Bass player enough credit here

run to listen to classical music then idiot!
I wanna know what Robbin Williams was gunna say lol
This sounds better once Omar stops playing his guitar. Does saying that make me a poser?
Man can anyone tell me if there is a band nowadays that's as awesome as At the Drive-in?

Steven Stratton must admit it sounded a bit better after he slung his
git...pity the rest of the band didn't follow suit
i remember my friend showed me this and my head almost exploded from the amazingness of this performance
yup! great performance. It looks like Omar was frustrated and was taking it out on the guitar, then smacked the tambourine around for a while. If you want to check out his latest project search Bosnian Rainbows, enjoy!
Just goes to show omar quit before physically leaving atdi
Love this song/hate zane lowe
I don't get it.....that was non-alcoholic wine
This was on the BBC............fucking out there. Love it
This os one of the few times where I DIDN'T like Omaur's messing around. Normally it's one of my favourite things about him, esoecially in Mars Volta stuff, but here it was just kind of distracting
No disrespect, I just found out about these guys a month ago and I think they rock. Mars volta is insane! But jeez.
And that's what you call punk rock, kids.
Don't do drugs kids
over to you Robbie.
Its shame that the rhythm section could not get as high as the afro guys.
I'm gonna go against the grain of all the nut riders:
I Love ATDI but as a performance is typical of what a lot of punk groups do once they get on a mainstream show.

An old hxc thing was bands would sometimes play with their backs to the audience. Or look at what Fear did when they were on in SNL which got them banned 😂 now that was fuckin awesome🤙
So yeah, to me, this is nothing amazing and completely insecure. You wanna give a big middle finger to the mainstream audience? You could've done anything other than be what might've been expected of a bunch of punks.
Hey, somebody's gotta go against the grain🤷🏻♂️😂
this transition from ATDI to Robbie Williams lol :D
Shit!! The whole idea why this is perfect is Boy band boy at the end.Given a teet to suckle on.
Everything sounds good apart from what the afro guitarist's playing. WHY DID HE HAVE TO RUIN IT?! That's what makes it sound like a pile of shit.
omar really fucks it, we already know cedric's edgy but if omar played solid it might be a decent musical performance but the stage performance is fantastic
love omar though and cedric
alexandermovies - bla bla bla.. DO SOMETHING BETTER.
THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU DRINK 8 CANS OF RED BULL AND THEN GO TO PERFORM ON STAGE
+odla1709 I'm pretty sure they weren't drinking red bull.
Close. If you substitute Heroin and Crack Cocaine for Red Bull you'd be dead on.
I reckon they might have even been drinking bat's blood and messing around with voodoo too.
+Justin Vavala heroin is a downer
Bet the old people in the audience were like "Ooo what a racket. Boys do look like girls today don't they?" Then realised how insane it was and had a heart attack.
for anyone who doesn't know, at the end, robbie williams says "can my mate have his chair back please" xD
Vanished??? Those two acid-heads became The Mars Volta. (If you knew that already, I apologise).
This is officially the worst performance in the history of the earth. thus, it is the best.
Omar is a legend!
Don't the youth of today listen to real metal anymore?
lol you called it metal
youth of today! great band
"real metal"
You must be an Avenshit Sevenfold fan
fede018
that's my favorite band right after One Direction. I said "REAL METAL"
Just because it has guitars and the vocals are harsh it doesn't mean it's metal. This is post-hardcore.
atdi fuckin rock..love it!!
I saw the program a few months ago, so great to find it here. ATDI is off the wall!! Thanks
One of the best performances I have seen. No doubt.
I like to imagine they did that just to scare the sh** out of Robbie Williams.
oh, and jools holland was brought up on a council estate and is black!
Fucking Genius, A big giant "Fuck IT". Next up Robbie Robertson, lmao.
Imagining following that up with fucking Robbie Williams ahahaha
@itsinmybones i dont think you understand at the drive in, do you?
All other bands were completely overshadowed that day lmao
Don't the youth of today listen to real metal anymore?
I had to look up who the fuck he was, I still have no clue!
@murrayisarobot THEY REFORMED TODAY, ATDIMUSIC/dot/COM
sound is messy. greatest boy band of the 2000's though.
My brain when my adhd meds stop working.
The only one who played the song normal was the drummer lol
I often watch this performance and wonder why this superb band run out of steam? Lol Seriously though what a performance.
why do you ' often ' watch this performance??????????????
James Grice they're still shit you fucking mard arse..go and chuck your rattle
out of somefuckerelses pram
is that Andrew Stockdale?!!!!
"can me mate have his chair?" xD hhaahaha
@getheroutofthetruck Zane Lowe ruins everything.
how the fuck do you follow that performance? lol
That was fucking mental, brilliant
I love ATDI, but this is fucking terrible. Just awful.
Jeremy Childs This performance is the pure unaltered essence of At the Drive-In. This is what they are.
This was my favorite moment on Jools Holland until Zane Lowe just fucking ruined it for me.
i think you're missing the point, mind...
wtf does cedric do to paul at 4:55
Fucking amazing.
guitarist needs to invest in a tuner.
tuning your guitar might help
PS where is the quality video of Rolodex Propaganda when they played on jools!!? i'd love to see it this way!
LOVE this......
This to me looks like 'The Mars Volta' band, may be wrong. Awesome performance. Poor Robbie had to follow that.
Singer and guitar player on the left were in The Mars Volta too.
Kaj Heesakkers tks
Cocaine, yesterday.
I love ATDI. They were a breath of fresh air. However, they fall into the category of bands that are visually appealing, but sound like dog shit live. So disappointing.
I have no clue what the fuck I just watched but this band became even more awesome
This. Is. Awesome.
5:24 Robbie Williams looks like someone who's just been mugged. Brilliant.

No Robbie your mate cannot have his chair back because At The Drive In destroyed it.
haha robbie williams
